Abstract

Over the years, Taiwan's government has proposed a slew of initiatives supporting smart manufacturing development; for instance, it launched smart automation initiative since 2011; proposed the Productivity 4.0 in 2015, and 5+2 Industrial Transformation Plan in 2016 in the hope of spurring the smart manufacturing development through the implementation of Smart Machinery Industry Promotion Project. This report provides an overview of Taiwanese government's smart manufacturing initiatives and strategies for the period 2011-2018; provides key players of the supply chain and their nascent developments from system, service, and equipment & device perspectives; examines the industry's shortage and demand in both domestic and overseas markets.
